Synopsis
This very black comedy from iconoclastic director Bruce McDonald tells the story of Henry (Maxwell McCabe-Lokos), a sad-sack advertising copywriter saddled with raising his infant son while his teacher wife Alyssa (Sarah Allen) does time for sleeping with a 14-year-old student.
Henry is barely getting by — he hates his job, his co-workers, his trips to the prison to visit his wife — but most of all he hates the pitying glances he receives and the feeling he can’t shake that he’s been completely emasculated.
Bolstered by impotent, internalized rage, Henry’s search for answers leads him to begin following the schoolboy with whom his wife was involved — with disastrous results.
